About the Tallac Historic Site

The historically registered Pope-Baldwin Estates at the Tallac Historic Site in South Lake Tahoe are a must see for locals and visitors to the area. The summer estates are open daily during the summer months, and the public is free to wander throughout the estates, stroll through the gardens, visit the museum, view our Vintage Clothing Exhibit, view inside outbuildings used to house servants and guests, and watch the blacksmith in action. The Baldwin Museum Gift Shop is filled with cheerful Lake Tahoe seasonal and period-inspired merchandise, clothing, unique gifts, and books. Our friendly staff and volunteers in the gift shop are happy to help you with your purchases, and while you are shopping, be sure to visit with our museum docents. These specially trained volunteers can help you with questions about the historic estates, programs, tours, demonstrations, upcoming special events, and area information.
